A topical cleansing composition for stimulating the production of antimicrobial peptides on the skin is disclosed. The topical cleansing composition includes an active ingredient comprising one or more of a natural extract and a polypeptide; one or more surfactants; and water. The topical cleansing composition increases the concentration of antimicrobial peptides on skin, as compared to an otherwise identical topical composition without the active ingredient.

A method of increasing antimicrobial peptide concentration on the skin is provided. The method includes cleaning skin with at least one of a cleanser and a sanitizer and applying a topical composition to the skin. The topical composition is comprised of one or more polypeptides and natural extracts that increase the concentration of antimicrobial peptides.

Ophthalmic formulations and uses thereof, for the treatment of dry eye syndrome, wherein an eye drops solution is composed of liposomes built with non hydrogenated phospholipids containing Linseed oil, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin E TPGS and in water phase Vitamin B12 and Pycnogenol.

The presence of Pycnogenols increases the antioxidant capacity in external water phase and the presence of Vitamin E TPGS increases the antioxidant effect on lipophilic phase of liposomes.

The presence of Vitamin E TPGS, inside the liposomes, combined with the presence of Pycnogenol and Vitamin B12 outside the liposomes, have a protective effect (shield) against UV A/UVB rays.

It is further object of the invention, a liposomal eyes drops solution as above described, containing a specific and peculiar system composed of 2-Amino-2(hydroxymethyl) propane-1,3-diol, that act as salt forming agent for Pycnogenol (sparkly water soluble) and borate buffer, in order to improve the filterability of liposomes and have a satisfying filtration procedure to sterilize liposomal eyes drops only by filtration at 0.2 micron, avoiding the steam sterilization that would destroy the other components and liposomes structure.
